Time as a Critic Factor in Architecture

Abstract

Time is the most important concepts associated with architecture. Architecture is realized through testing, selection, evaluation and judgment through time, it has many different images overtime, as if time overturn the many faces of the architectural text to show its weakness and strongest points, which will produce many images of architecture text that appear and disappear at the same period time. The Processes of testing, evaluation and selection makes time play the role of critic to architecture as the reader or critic examines a text, as such time relates to architecture. The research focuses on the concept of time as a Critic factor to architecture, which highlights the problem of the absence of a clear conception of time as a Critic factor to architecture. The research aims at constructing a theoretical framework and then applying it to selected projects, which leads to the conclusion that time as a critic shows and hides aspects of the creative architectural text gradually recognized in short or long-term according to the social, cultural, economic and technical conditions of production, which resulting in new interpretations of modern readings. This makes time a sustainable factor in architecture
